BACKGROUND: A recent nationwide trend found that American families are traveling in celebration of milestones in their lives - birthdays, true love, reunions, triumphs and more. Disney Parks embraces "celebration vacations" in 2009 with new experiences, turning milestones into memories. With a little extra pixie dust, or the "icing on the cake," guests visiting a Walt Disney World or Disneyland Resort theme park can receive one free admission on their birthday in 2009. To get the party started early, Disney has hit the road and is traveling to cities across the country, bringing the fun to guests' hometowns.
